I didn't have any trouble getting off of it. I was on 8 a day, I cut a pill every 3 days. Try what you can tolerate. You might be able to do it faster. Its more dangerous for you to have withdrawal than for you to be on tramadol.

Morning Help; Remember that just what Kaismama has said your in more danger with withdrawals then the Tramadol So if you do as she said try that and if you continue to feel withdrawals call your doctor and get directions.And do not take just stop it. you need to go off of these as slow as you can and be without the withdrawals but taking one pill less every 3 days sounds pretty good to me too. you may have to adjust to your needs as bad as you want off you don't want to do it in a way thay you get all the terrible symptoms.

Hi, you really need to speak with your doctor so they can weigh up the pro's and con's regarding continuing with the medication or tapering from it... Some women have been able to continue on low doses and have had healthy babies/children. You don't say what your daily dose is? If you are at the higher end, maybe you could try to reduce to a lower level? But please speak with your doctor, some people are lucky enough to do a fast taper without any ill effects, but for others it can be extremely difficult...
